In northeast India, in a village in the Meghalaya region, literally “the home of the clouds”, a young girl plays the ghatam, an instrument with which she enables villagers to communicate with the surrounding area during the monsoon season.
Disappearing one day into the jungle, she returns to her people bringing with her the technique of “living bridges”, made of intertwined tree roots, a unique heritage in the world and indispensable for linking villages in this mountainous area.
